CLI

The skale CLI provides command-line access to SkaleData for connecting clouds, deploying apps, and local development.

Installation

brew install skaledata/tap/skale

Authentication

# Interactive login (opens browser)
skale auth login

For CI/CD, use an API key instead:

skale auth set-key sdk_...
# or, non-interactively, via environment variable:
export SKALEDATA_API_KEY=sdk_...

To call a deployed app’s own REST API (Airflow, Airbyte, …), see App APIs.

Shell completion

Enable tab completion for your shell:

Bash

skale completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/skale

Zsh

skale completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_skale"

Fish

skale completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/skale.fish

After adding the completion script, restart your shell or source your profile.
